Abstract

A method and a system for securely accessing a portable hotspot for intelligent mobile phones, comprises an intelligent mobile phone used as an AP and another intelligent mobile phone used as an STA. The AP comprises an AP NFC module and a first data transmission module; and the STA comprises an STA NFC module and a second data transmission module. The AP uses the NFC module to perform a WPA security authentication with the STA, and uses the first data transmission module to perform data encrypted transmission with the second data transmission module. In the method and the system of the present disclosure, the common WLAN authentication mechanism is not adopted, and the security authentication process between the AP and the STA is completed in the NFC manner instead.
